Poll: Republicans now approve of Mueller’s performance as special counsel

Attorney General William Barr’s four-page memorandum summarizing the report of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation appears to have silenced some of Mueller’s Republican critics. For the first time since the Economist/YouGov Poll began asking last year whether Americans approved or disapproved of how the Special Counsel was handling the investigation, more Republicans approve than disapprove. However, that doesn’t prevent Republicans from viewing the investigation the way President Trump has described it, as a “witch hunt.”
